Blood Ties and Shadows

Laurel Lance returns to Starling City after years away, only to be drawn back into the Merlyn Mafia underworld when her father is attacked. Amidst a war against the enigmatic Reaper, she discovers she's not just a player, but the throne itself. Between blood pacts and forbidden desires, Laurel finds herself torn between Malcolm Merlyn and Slade Wilson-two men who want her by their side, as their queen. But love, in the underworld, is as lethal as betrayal. As alliances fracture and families crumble, Kara Danvers and Oliver Queen try to maintain peace between the mafias, Alex fights for Caitlin's love, and Thea, Sara, and Tommy are drawn into the war. Love. Blood. Power. In a game where only the strong survive, Laurel will have to choose whether to be a pawn... or the queen who changes the rules.
